Longji Rice Terraces

Longji Rice Terraces is located in Longji Town, Longsheng County, Guilin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, more than 70 km away from Guilin City. It is said that the history of Longji Rice Terraces can be traced back to more than 2,380 years ago, and it is known as the "Hometown of Terraces in the World". The scenic area is very large, including several sub-scenic spots such as Ping'an Zhuang Rice Terraces, Jinkeng Red Yao Rice Terraces, and Longji Guzhuang Rice Terraces. You need to walk a certain distance, and you can also taste Yao and Zhuang cuisine such as bamboo rice and lotus fish along the way. Most of the Longji Rice Terraces are built along the mountain, and the terraces are accompanied by villages. The smoke rising from the villages is the crystallization of the diligence and wisdom of the people of all ethnic groups, and it also carries the dream of the Chinese people for a well-off life. The most famous scenic spot of Longji Rice Terraces is called "Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon". "Seven Stars" refers to the seven small hills left when the terraces were first built, accompanying the silver shining paddy field on the top of the mountain, which looks like seven stars accompanying a bright moon from a distance.
